| My Dad and Me |
What should a
father be?
He should be
dependable and strong.
Strong as a
mountain bashed by a determined wind
What should a father
be?
He should be
supportive and caring.
Caring as the sun
who rises to please Mother Nature
What should a
father be?
He should be
confident and courageous.
Courageous as a
knight defending his princess from a deathly dragon
What should a
father be?
He should be
responsible and selfless.
Selfless as the
rain that pours down to nourish the earth
But my father, he
is none of these things.
He is as weak as
the pebble that is tossed in the wind.
He is as distant
as the cold, dark moon.
He is as fearful
as the man who runs from the dragon.
He is as selfish
as a drought,
A drought that
takes and takes again, but gives nothing in return.
But my father is
slowly learning
Like a young
child being taught manners for the first time.
He will fail and
make little attempt to repair the broken ties.
Progress is
progress
And I should be
thankful for it.
But being
thankful is hard
After being
scarred for so long.
And all that I
can do
Is try to
forgive.
